DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on some recent techniques that provide useful \n theory-neutral mechanisms for analyzing and evaluating phonological and \n morphological generalizations in various contexts.\n \n These techniques draw on finite state technology which is customarily used \n for modeling phonological and morphological phenomena computationally and \n also finds many applications in speech technology. The popularity of finite \n state machines – automata and transducers – rests on a few main \n attributes: they provide a theory-neutral platform for encoding linguistic \n generalizations\, they are inherently bidirectional (a model defined in the \n direction of generation can also perform parsing)\, they can accommodate \n gradience effects and probabilistic generalizations\, and they enjoy \n substantial practical support in the form of software and development tools. \n For our purposes\, the most important feature is the set of computational \n methods available for formal verification and investigation of finite state \n models.\n \n One technique particularly useful to the linguist is equivalence testing of \n grammars. While testing the equivalence of e.g. finite transducers is \n computationally undecidable in the general case\, there exist efficient \n algorithms for doing so in the realm of many linguistically interesting \n contexts. When combined with techniques to model richer phonological \n structures such as autosegments or constraint-driven formalisms like \n Optimality Theory\, such equivalence testing permits the automation of various \n difficult tasks in phonological modeling. Among other things\, it enables one \n to formally ascertain the correctness of generalizations expressed in a \n particular formalism\, investigate competing theories of \n historical-comparative reconstruction\, and perform more general comparisons \n of phonological and morphological models.

LOCATION:T116\, Olof Wijksgatan 6
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I’ll present my (recently completed) PhD\, in which I \n developed a new\, hybrid approach to dialogue management based on the notion \n of "probabilistic rules". The key idea is to represent the internal models of \n a dialogue domain in a structured manner\, through high-level rules that \n combine aspects of logical and probabilistic approaches to dialogue modelling \n into a single framework. The rules may include parameters that can be \n estimated from dialogue data (via e.g. supervised or reinforcement learning).\n \n The approach offers two main benefits: 1) due to the expressivity of the \n rules\, the models can be encoded in a compact form\, making it possible to \n efficiently estimate the domain parameters from limited amounts of data. 2) \n the rules also allow expert knowledge and domain constraints to be directly \n incorporated in the domain models\, in a human-readable form.\n \n The above approach has been implemented in a new\, domain-independent dialogue \n toolkit called "OpenDial"\, which is available under an open source license: \n http://opendial.googlecode.com [1]\n \n In this talk\, I’ll present the framework as well as some practical \n experiments that we recently conducted to evaluate the approach in a \n human-robot interaction domain (using the Nao robot as experimental \n platform).\n \n \n [1] http://opendial.googlecode.com

DESCRIPTION:The typological diversity of the world's languages poses important challenges \n for the techniques used in machine translation\, syntactic parsing and other \n areas of natural language processing. Statistical models developed and tuned \n for English do not necessarily perform well for richly inflected languages\, \n where larger morphological paradigms and more flexible word order gives rise \n to data sparseness. Since paradigms can easily be captured in rule-based \n descriptions\, this suggests that hybrid approaches combining statistical \n modeling with linguistic descriptions might be more effective. However\, in \n order to gain more insight into the benefits of different techniques from a \n typological perspective\, we also need linguistic resources that are \n comparable across languages\, something that is currently lacking to a large \n extent.\n \n In this talk\, I will report on two ongoing projects that tackle these issues \n in different ways. In the first part\, I will describe techniques for joint \n morphological and syntactic parsing that combines statistical dependency \n parsing and rule-based morphological analysis\, specifically targeting the \n challenges posed by richly inflected languages. In the second part\, I will \n present the Universal Dependency Treebank Project\, a recent initiative \n seeking to create multilingual corpora with morphosyntactic annotation that \n is consistent across languages.\n \n Joakim Nivre\, Uppsala University http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/~nivre/ [1]\n \n \n [1] http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/~nivre/

DESCRIPTION:Conversation can be described as a joint activity between two or more \n participants\, and the ease of conversation relies on a close coordination of \n actions between them. First\, since it is difficult to speak and listen at the \n same time\, interlocutors have to take turns speaking\, and this turn-taking \n has to be coordinated somehow. Second\, while speaking\, humans continually \n evaluate how the listener perceives and reacts to what they say and adjust \n their future behaviour to accommodate this feedback. Third\, speakers also \n have to coordinate their joint focus of attention. Joint attention is \n fundamental to efficient communication: it allows people to interpret and \n predict each other's actions and prepare reactions to them.\n \n In this talk\, I will present an ongoing research effort at KTH in which we \n aim to model these phenomena for improving spoken interaction between humans \n and machines. I will start with a dyadic human-computer dialogue setting and \n show how we can use data-driven methods for detecting feedback-inviting cues \n in the user's speech. I will then move on to situated interaction where the \n human interacts face-to-face with a robot\, making references to physical \n objects in the surroundings\, and explore how the system can invite feedback \n from the user and how the user and system can achieve joint attention. \n Finally\, we will look at multi-party interaction\, where the robot interacts \n with several humans at the same time\, and explore how gaze is used to \n regulate turn-taking in such settings.

LOCATION:L308\, Lennart Torstenssonsgatan 8
DESCRIPTION:We present a framework for using continuous-space vector representations of \n word meaning to derive representations of the meaning of word senses listed \n in a semantic network. The idea is based on two assumptions: 1) word vectors \n for polysemous words are a mix of underlying sense representations\; 2) the \n representation of a sense should be similar to those of its neighbors in the \n network. This leads to a constrained optimization problem\, and we present \n anapproximate iterative algorithm that can be used if the similarity between \n senses is defined in terms of the squared Euclidean distance.\n \n We apply the algorithm on a Swedish semantic network\, and we evaluate the \n quality of the resulting sense representations intrinsically using the vector \n offset method and extrinsically by showing that they give large improvements \n when used in classifiers that maps word senses to FrameNet frames.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I argue that modern corpus-driven lexicography must focus on \n discovering patterns of usage (valencies and collocations)\, rather than \n asking direct questions about word meanings. In fact\, I argue\, words do not \n have meanings as such\; they have only *meaning potentials*. Different aspects \n of a word's meaning potential are realized in different contexts. \n Corpus-driven analyses of patterns of usage are necessarily selective and \n probabilistic.\n \n The modern lexicographer\, confronted with a vast array of evidence for \n different uses of a word\, needs guidance on appropriate levels of \n generalization and on what can be safely left out\, rather than the more \n traditional search for new words and new senses to be added to the \n dictionary. At the same time\, computational linguists need to abandon the \n deluded search for certainties about "all possible" uses (if they have not \n already done so) and accept the more achievable goal of matching actual usage \n to patterns. A newly emerging theory of language in use (The Theory of Norms \n and Exploitations -- Hanks 2013) can help here\, as it provides a basis for \n distinguishing conventional uses and meanings of words from creative ones

DESCRIPTION:Hate speech can be defined as any abusive language directed towards specific \n minority groups with the intention to demean. While several countries \n actually protect this type of language under the right to free speech\, many \n internet providers prohibit the use of the language on their properties under \n their terms of service. The reason for this is that such language makes \n internet forums and comment sections unwelcoming and thus stunts discussion.\n \n In this talk\, we describe preliminary work into detecting hate speech and \n malicious language on the internet. Specifically\, we discuss issues with \n defining hate speech and its impact on annotation and evaluation\, and then \n describe a statistical classifier for evaluating hate speech comments on \n comments sections on proprietary news and finance web articles.\n \n *Note*: The talk has some very sensitive and offensive material in it\, just \n by nature of the topic.

DESCRIPTION:A fast growing area in Natural Language Processing is the use of automated \n tools for identifying and correcting grammatical errors made by language \n learners. This growth\, in part\, has been fueled by the needs of a large \n number of people in the world who are learning and using a second or foreign \n language. For example\, it is estimated that there are currently over one \n billion people who are non-native speakers of English. These numbers drive \n the demand for accurate tools that can help learners to write and speak \n proficiently in another language. Such demand also makes this an exciting \n time for those in the NLP community who are developing automated methods for \n grammatical error correction (GEC).\n \n In the last five years alone\, the field has grown tremendously from a few \n conference and workshop papers to four shared tasks (two of which were \n co-located with CoNLL)\, papers at conferences such as ACL and EMNLP\, and two \n Morgan Claypool Synthesis Series books. While there have been many exciting \n developments in GEC over the last few years\, there is still considerable room \n for improvement as state-of-the-art performance in detecting and correcting \n several important error types is still inadequate for many real world \n applications. In this talk\, I will provide an overview of the field of \n automated grammatical error correction\, including its history\, leading \n methodologies and its particular set of challenges. Although applications of \n GEC are often geared toward the classroom\, its methods are more generally \n applicable to a wide variety of NLP problems\, especially where systems must \n contend with noisy data\, such as MT evaluation and correction\, analysis of \n microblogs and other user-generated content\, and disfluency detection in \n speech.\n \n Bio:\n \n Joel Tetreault is a Senior Research Scientist at Yahoo Labs in New York City. \n His research focus is Natural Language Processing with specific interests in \n anaphora\, dialogue and discourse processing\, machine learning\, and applying \n these techniques to the analysis of English language learning and automated \n essay scoring. Previously he was Principal Manager of the Core Natural \n Language group at Nuance Communications\, Inc. where he worked on the research \n and development of NLP tools and components for the next generation of \n intelligent dialogue systems. Prior to Nuance\, he worked at Educational \n Testing Service for six years as a Managing Senior Research Scientist where \n he researched automated methods for detecting grammatical errors by \n non-native speakers\, plagiarism detection\, and content scoring.\n \n Tetreault received his B.A. in Computer Science from Harvard University \n (1998) and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of \n Rochester (2004). He was also a postdoctoral research scientist at the \n University of Pittsburgh's Learning Research and Development Center \n (2004-2007)\, where he worked on developing spoken dialogue tutoring systems. \n In addition he has co-organized the Building Educational Application workshop \n series for 7 years\, the CoNLL 2013 Shared Task on Grammatical Error \n Correction\, and is currently NAACL Treasurer.

DESCRIPTION:Learner corpora as collections of language produced by language learners have \n been systematically collected since the 90s\, and with increasing numbers and \n types of learner corpora becoming available\, in principle there is a growing \n empirical basis on which theories of second language acquisition can be \n informed and applications can be trained and tested. While most research on \n learner corpora has analyzed the (co)occurrence of (sequences of) words or \n manual error annotation\, tools for automatically analyzing large corpora in \n terms of linguistic abstractions such as parts-of-speech\, syntactic \n constituency\, or dependency are in principle available - though they also \n raise fundamental conceptual questions related to the linguistic annotation \n of learner language.\n \n The situation also raises some questions which are reminiscent of the \n discussion on the role of exemplars vs. prototypes in language\, namely \n surface forms as such and when linguistic categories abstracting and \n generalizing over surface forms are useful in a corpus-based analysis.\n \n In this talk\, I want to illustrate some of the underlying conceptual issues \n and then exemplify the trade-off between surface-based and deeper linguistic \n modeling based on our experiments in Native Language Identification\, the task \n of automatically determining the native language of a non-native writer.\n \n This talk is based on joint work with Serhiy Bykh and Julia Krivanek:\n \n * Detmar Meurers\, Julia Krivanek and Serhiy Bykh (2014): On the Automatic\n Analysis of Learner Corpora: Native Language Identification as\n Experimental Testbed of Language Modeling between Surface Features and\n Linguistic Abstraction.

DESCRIPTION:The analysis of readability has traditionally relied on surface properties of \n language\, such as average sentence and word lengths and specific word lists. \n At the same time\, there is a long tradition analyzing the Complexity\, \n Accuracy\, and Fluency (CAF) of language produced by language learners in \n second language acquisition (SLA) research. Reusing SLA measures of learner \n language complexity to analyze readability\, Sowmya Vajjala and I explored \n which aspects of linguistic modeling can successfully be employed to predict \n the readability of a native language text.\n \n Using various machine learning setups and corpora\, we show that a broad range \n of linguistic properties are highly indicative of the readability of \n documents\, from graded readers to web pages and TV programs targeting \n different age groups. The readability model using our full linguistic feature \n set currently is the best non-commercial readability model available for \n English (and second overall\, with the commercial ETS model coming in first)\, \n based on the performance on the Common Core State Standard data set.\n \n This talk focuses on our document-level readability models\, and links it with \n our proficiency classification work\, i.e.\, the task of determining the \n language proficiency of a writer based on a text they wrote in the second \n language.

DESCRIPTION:I will present recent work done in the Dialogue Systems Group at Bielefeld \n University [1] on modelling situated dialogue. In our understanding of the \n term\, situated dialogue is dialogue where the participants at least share a \n common timeline\, that is\, directly perceive the utterances of their partners\, \n and are expected to react immediately. This covers for example telephone \n conversations and excludes email or text-chat exchanges\, and it implies that \n processing must proceed incrementally and continuously. In a narrower \n understanding of the term\, it is also taken to entail physical co-location\, \n where the participants immediately perceive all actions of their \n interlocutors\, and not just linguistic ones\, and also perceive their shared \n surroundings. Our goal is to provide a computational\, implemented model of \n the skills required to take part in situated dialogue both in the wider and \n the more narrow sense.\n \n I will briefly introduce the "incremental units" model of dialogue processing \n (Schlangen & Skantze\; EACL 2009\, Dialogue & Discourse 2011) which we use as \n the basis for our work on situated dialogue. I will show how we used it to \n realise fast turn-taking in an implemented dialogue system (Skantze & \n Schlangen\, EACL 2009). I will then discuss our work on statistical \n incremental language understanding\, which brings in as an additional problems \n to tackle reference to objects in a shared space (Kennington & Schlangen\; \n SIGdial 2012\, Computer Speech & Language 2014)\, non-linguistic information \n about the speaker such as gaze and gesture (Kennington\, Kousidis & Schlangen\; \n SIGdial 2013\, Coling 2014)\, and more recently\, real-time computer-vision \n processing.\n \n This work takes us a few small steps towards a more comprehensive model of \n situated dialogue. I will conclude by discussing some of the many extensions \n that are still required.\n \n \n [1] http://www.dsg-bielefeld.de

DESCRIPTION:Ellen Breitholtz\, PhD student in linguistics at FLoV\, will defend her thesis: \n "Enthymemes in Dialogue: A micro-rhetorical approach".\n \n Abstract: In dialogue we frequently present arguments which are based on \n commonly accepted non-logical inferences. In rhetorical theory\, this type of \n argument is called an /enthymeme/\, and a pattern of reasoning that it is \n based on is called a /topos/. The main purpose of this thesis is to \n investigate the role that enthymemes play in natural language dialogue. The \n analyses focus on authentic dialogue material\, and informal theories from \n linguistics and language philosophy are combined with formal theories in what \n can be considered a /micro-rhetorical/ approach. This approach focuses on \n function in language\, and the idea is that linguistic phenomena of the type \n studied by linguists are the micro-end of rhetorical phenomena. Formalisation \n is an important method in this thesis. The /information/ state of a dialogue \n participant is modelled as a /dialogue gameboard/ showing her current take on \n the dialogue and the cognitive resources currently activated. The \n formalisations are done in the semantic frame work /Type Theory with \n Records/. The first part of this thesis focuses on the linguistic and \n philosophical context of enthymeme and topos. In chapters 3–4 the formal \n model is developed\, and in chapter 5 it is applied to a number of cases. Some \n of the main contributions of this thesis are that it points out that \n underpinning patterns of resoning are necessary to make pragmatic inferences\, \n and suggests a precise way of formalising these patterns. Also\, the concept \n of /Accommodation/ is associated with enthymemes and topoi. Accommodation of \n enthymemes explains how agents can infer some types of rhetorical relations \n based on accessed topoi. Accommodation of topoi o↵ers an explanation to \n some types of misunderstandings as well as a way of looking at learning of \n new topoi.\n \n Keywords: enthymeme\, topos\, dialogue\, TTR\, gameboard semantics\, dialogue \n modelling\, accommodation\, non-monotonic reasoning\, micro-rhetoric\n \n Full text available here: http://hdl.handle.net/2077/36005 [1]\n \n \n [1] http://hdl.handle.net/2077/36005

DESCRIPTION:When\, in the begin of the second millennium\, Gray and Atkinson (2003) used \n lexicostatistical data along with sophisticated statistical methods to date \n the age of the Indo- European language family\, they caused a great stir in \n the linguistic world. Their method was part of a general quantitative turn in \n historical linguistics\, which started at the begin of the second millennium. \n This quantitative turn is reflected in a large bunch of literature on such \n different topics as phonetic alignment (Kondrak 2002\, Prokić et al. 2009)\, \n automatic cognate detection (Steiner et al. 2011)\, and phylogenetic \n reconstruction (Brown et al. 2008\, Nelson-Sathi et al. 2011).\n \n Unfortunately\, the quantitative turn created a gap between the "new and \n innovative" quantitative methods and the traditional approaches which \n linguists have been developing since the beginning of the 19th century. \n Traditional historical linguists are often very skeptical of the new \n approaches\, partly because the results are not always in concordance with \n those achieved by the traditional methods\, partly because many of the new \n approaches are based on large datasets which often exhibit numerous errors. \n Quantitative historical linguists\, on the other hand\, complain about \n traditional historical linguists' lack of interest in the multiple \n opportunities which quantitative and digital approaches have to offer.\n \n In our research project on "Quantitative Historical Linguistics" \n (http://quanthistling.info [1])\, which aims to uncover and clarify \n phylogenetic relationships between native South American languages using \n quantitative methods\, we have been developing a set of tools which are \n intended to help to bridge the gap between traditional and quantitative \n approaches in historical linguistics. Our goal is to resolve the conflict \n between traditional and quantitative historical linguistics by establishing a \n new framework of "computer-aided historical linguistics". This framework \n employs interactive web-based applications to compensate with both the lack \n of /structure/ in traditional and the lack of /quality/ in quantitative \n historical linguistics\, but also various reference data sets that can be used \n to train and evaluate new computational methods. In the talk\, some these \n tools will be introduced in detail\, and the challenges and opportunities of \n quantitative\, qualitative\, and computer-assisted methods will be discussed.\n \n *References*\n * Brown\, C.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will present some on-going activities aiming at publishing \n language resources in the Linked Open Data (LOD) framework\, with the goal to \n be able to link efficiently language data not only to other language data but \n also to knowledge objects that are already published in the LOD cloud. One \n approach is the one followed by the W3C community group "Ontolex"\, describing \n senses of lexical entries by their reference to knowledge objects in the LOD \n cloud. While most of the work dealing with the publication of language \n resources in the LOD is concerned with lexical resources\, increased attention \n has been recently given to the encoding of corpora in LOD compliant \n representation languages. We will sketch the current state of this endeavor\, \n which is the basis for the development of the NIF platform \n (http://aksw.org/Projects/NIF.html [1]). More information can be found on \n those topics at the Ontolex page (http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/ [2])\, \n as well as the European project LIDER (http://www.lider-project.eu/ [3])\, \n which is supporting the adoption of Ontolex and NIF for a large set of \n language resources.\n \n \n [1] http://aksw.org/Projects/NIF.html\n [2] http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/\n [3] http://www.lider-project.eu/

DESCRIPTION:I present recent experimental work on unsupervised language models trained on \n large corpora. We apply scoring functions to the probability distributions \n that the models generate for a corpus of test sentences. The functions \n discount the role of sentence length and word frequency\, while highlighting \n other properties\, in determining a grammaticality score for a sentence. The \n test sentences are annotated by Amazon Mechanical Turk crowd sourcing. We \n then apply support vector regression to the set of model scores for the test \n sentences. Some of the models and scoring functions produce encouraging \n Pearson correlations with the mean human judgements. I will also briefly \n describe current work on other corpus domains\, cross domain training and \n testing\, and grammaticality prediction in other languages. Our results \n provide experimental support for the view that syntactic knowledge is \n represented as a probabilistic system\, rather than as a classical formal \n grammar.\n \n Shalom Lappin King's College London and the University of Gothenburg (Joint \n work with Jey Han Lau and Alexander Clark)

DESCRIPTION:The advantages of using speech technology for controlling in-vehicle devices \n are intuitive obvious - the driver is able to keep the hands on the steering \n wheel and the eyes on the road\, and therefore the driver’s attention can be \n kept on the driving task. By analysing human-human in-vehicle conversations \n we believe that we can get clues on how to further develop in-vehicle \n dialogue systems and make them cognitive workload-aware. By implementing \n certain dialogue strategies we believe that it is possible to decrease the \n driver’s cognitive workload and thereby increase safety on the roads.\n \n In this working seminar\, I will present the thesis work I have been doing so \n far. It includes a classification of different types of workload\, and a \n method for distinguishing between workload types using workload measurement \n tools in combination with an analysis of in-car conversations.

DESCRIPTION:Dialogue as a means of information presentation goes back at least as far as \n the ancient Greeks - Plato conveyed his philosophy through fictitious \n conversations between Socrates and his contemporaries. In this kind of \n expository dialogue\, the main purpose is to inform the reader or audience\; \n the information the characters convey to one another is subservient to this \n purpose. The popularity of expository dialogue in today's world is evidenced \n by the widespread use of dialogue in news bulletins (between presenters)\, \n commercials\, educational entertainment\, and games. In this talk\, I will \n describe the CODA project. As part of CODA\, algorithms were developed for \n automatically generating expository dialogue. Given a text in monologue form\, \n the CODA system (together with the HILDA discourse parser) produces a \n dialogue script. The dialogue script expresses the same information as the \n monologue\, but now as a conversation between an expert and a lay person. In \n contrast with previous efforts to generate expository dialogue with \n hand-crafted rules\, CODA is corpus-based. I will describe the approach\, its \n evaluation and an application.\n \n More information at http://computing.open.ac.uk/coda/ [1]\n \n \n [1] http://computing.open.ac.uk/coda/

DESCRIPTION:Automatic Readability Assessment deals with evaluating the reading difficulty \n of a text for a given target audience. In general\, a "text" means a larger \n piece of text. However\, in certain scenarios\, it becomes important to \n understand readability at a more fine grained level\, like a sentence.\n \n In my talk\, I will discuss our past and on-going research on building and \n evaluating sentence level readability models for English. I will focus on \n questions like: (a) Can document level models be directly used for sentences? \n (b) Is it possible to accurately compare sentences in terms of their \n readability level? (c) Where will this kind of analysis be useful?\n \n My talk is in the context of automatic text simplification. However\, the \n approach may be useful in general in other scenarios where sentence level \n readability estimates are needed.\n \n Initial part of this talk was presented at EACL 2014\, in April.\n \n Sowmya Vajjala and Detmar Meurers: "On assessing the reading level of \n individual sentences for text simplification"\, Proceedings of the 14th \n Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational \n Linguistics\, 2014. pages 288-297. \n (http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/E/E14/E14-1031.pdf [1]).\n \n \n [1] http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/E/E14/E14-1031.pdf

DESCRIPTION:Ann-Marie Eklund\, PhD student in Natural Language Processing at \n Språkbanken/Department of Swedish will defend her PhD thesis *The game of \n health search*.\n \n Almost two of three Swedes use internet to search for health related \n information on diseases\, treatments and care givers. Mobile devices such as \n smartphones and tablets are increasingly used to carry out these activities\, \n and it raises the question on how a health information portal should behave \n to support the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s information seekers.\n \n In this thesis we present an analysis of the use of the official health \n information portals 1177.se and vardguiden.se with a focus on describing the \n relations between seekers and portals\, as expressed by the language of \n queries and answers. Of special interest is the role of the language as a \n means to establish and maintain the seekers’ trust in a portal as a \n complement to doctor’s visits and calls.\n \n We present a number of principles of behaviour to which we believe a portal \n should adhere to be trustworthy in the eyes of the seekers. We also introduce \n a conceptual framework with a basis in game-­theoretic models of rational \n behaviour\, and the use of lingustic error analysis and stylistics\, to provide \n a setting for analysis of information search.\n \n Faculty opponent: Stefan Schulz\n \n Full text avalable here: http://hdl.handle.net/2077/37041 [1]\n \n \n [1] http://hdl.handle.net/2077/37041

DESCRIPTION:The fundamental claim of this talk is that attention -- both visual and \n linguistic -- is an important overarching semantic category structuring \n visually situated dialogue. Based on this it is argued that computer systems \n attempting to model the evolving context of a visually situated dialogue \n should integrate models of visual and linguistic attention within their \n natural language processing framework. The talk will present a dialogue \n framework that integrates attention into the representations of the evoling \n context. Within this framework a model of perceptual attention underpins two \n of the core subtasks of NLP: reference resolution and the generation of \n referring expressions. There are three main components within the framework: \n a model of synthetic visual attention\, a set of computational models of \n spatial term semantics\, and a discourse model integrating visual and \n linguistic information.\n \n John D.

DESCRIPTION:We present a method of extracting functional semantic knowledge from corpora \n of descriptions of visual scenes. Such knowledge is required for \n interpretation and generation of spatial descriptions in tasks such as visual \n search. In the collostruction analysis (Dobnik and Kelleher\, 2013) we \n estimate a log-likelihood ratio between a preposition and a target-landmark \n tuple which measures the strength of association between them. To determine \n their function-geometry bias we estimate the entropy of their target-landmark \n tokens. In (Dobnik and Kelleher\, 2014) we identify semantic classes of target \n and landmark objects related by each preposition by abstracting over WordNet \n taxonomy. The inclusion of such knowledge in visual search should equip \n robots with a better\, more human-like spatial cognition.\n \n Simon Dobnik\, Department of Philosophy\, Linguistics\, and Theory of Science\, \n University of Gothenburg (joint work with John D.

DESCRIPTION:Readability aims to provide reproducible and automatic methods to assess the \n difficulty of texts for a given population. Such methods are based on various \n linguistic characteristics of the texts to assess. They have mostly been \n developed for English (Flesch\, 1948 \; Dale et Chall\, 1948 \; Heilman et al.\, \n 2007)\, whereas very little work was carried out for French (Henry\, 1975 \; \n François et Fairon\, 2012). In this talk\, we first summarize a set of \n experiments that have been conducted on the readability of French as a \n foreign language (FFL). They led to the design of a readability model for FFL \n able to predict the difficulty level of texts accordingly to the Common \n European Framework of Reference for language (CEFR). To achieve this goal\, \n the model relies on techniques from natural language processing – to \n extract the linguistic features – and from machine learning – to combine \n these features within a statistical model.\n \n In the second part of the talk\, we will focus on a specific issue\, namely the \n difficulty of the lexicon for learners of FFL. The lexicon is acknowledged to \n be an essential linguistic component for an adequate reading comprehension. \n In the context of the L2 education\, the progression of vocabulary teaching is \n generally guided by vocabulary lists\, such as Gougenheim (1958). These lists \n rely a lot on the frequency of words in a large corpus of L1 texts. Their use \n for L2 applications is therefore questionable. With the advent of the CEFR\, \n this issue could be alleviated thanks to the reference supplement supposed to \n mark out the lexicon acquisition process. However\, these references lack \n precision about word uses and their design is also subject to question. This \n has led to various attempts to evaluate their validity (e.g. KELLY\, VALILEX). \n We will introduce an alternative approach to simple frequency list : FLELex\, \n a freely-available resource for FFL that describes frequency distribution of \n words across the six levels of the CEFR. The methodology and corpus used to \n estimate the frequencies will be detailed and illustrated through a website \n that allows to query FLELex on-line.\n \n mots-clefs: lexicon difficulty\, readability of FFL\, CALL\, CEFR\n \n Thomas François\,\n CENTAL (Université catholique de Louvain)\n http://cental.fltr.ucl.ac.be/team/tfrancois/ [1]\n \n \n [1] http://cental.fltr.ucl.ac.be/team/tfrancois/

DESCRIPTION:This talk describes the creation of and initial experiments with a massively \n parallel corpus of diachronic Germanic.\n \n The majority of parallel and quasi-parallel data on older Germanic languages \n is constituted by texts directly or indirectly based on the Bible. This \n includes actual translations\, but also loose paraphrases\, in prose or in \n verse\, either as independent works (psalters\, gospel harmonies\, but also free \n adaptations in medieval romance)\, or as part of derived works (such as \n exegetic commentaries\, sermons or chronicles). For several historical \n languages\, most noteably Old Saxon and Old High German\, Biblical text \n represents the majority of parallel data available at all\, gospel harmonies \n represent even the majority of data currently known.\n \n Still today\, the Bible is the single most translated book in the world and \n not only available in a vast majority of world languages\, but also a of \n dialects. The Lord's Prayer and the Tale of the Prodigal Son have been the \n basis for early studies on dialectology\, and with the rise of the internet\, \n home-grown dialectal translations of Bible excerpts\, books or the full Old \n and New Testament have been developed and are circulating in digital form.\n \n This amount of parallel data is of crucial interest to philologists and \n comparative linguists\, and out of this context\, aligned Bible corpora with \n morphosyntactic annotation have been developed at the Goethe University \n Frankfurt in the context of the project "Old German Reference Corpus" \n (2010-2014) and the LOEWE cluster "Digital Humanities" (2011-2014) for Old \n Saxon and Old High German\, and complement the series of annotated Bibles \n currently available for Gothic\, Middle English\, and Middle Icelandic.\n \n A massively parallel diachronic corpus of the Germanic languages is\, however\, \n not only a valuable resource for historical linguistics\, but also relevant to \n current research in Natural Language Processing: The Germanic languages\, with \n their great body of diachronic material\, and their well-understood \n grammatical\, morphological and phonological development provide us with a \n test bed to study the impact of diachronic relatedness on algorithms for \n historical-to-modern normalization\, annotation projection or model transfer \n between related language stages. With this data\, we can investigate\, for \n example\, the correlation between diachronic relatedness and the preferred \n method to derive NLP tools for less-resourced languages from tools for \n better-resourced languages.\n \n Accordingly\, the annotated Bibles mentioned above have been aligned with each \n other by the Applied Computational Linguistics Lab of the University \n Frankfurt\, and augmented with a massive corpus of unannotated Bibles (Fig.1).\n \n In this talk\, I present the parallel corpus as a resource\, I will issues with \n respect to coverage\, availability\, data quality\, legal issues as well as \n initial results on\n (i) usability for philological research\,\n (ii) alignment and annotation projection\, and\n (iii) normalization and hyperlemmatization.\n \n \n Christian Chiarcos\n Frankfurt Am Main\, Germany

DESCRIPTION:Within the NLP community\, interoperability has been a major issue in the last \n 25 years\, it has been subject of several standardization efforts\, but \n nevertheless remains a problem partially solved at best.\n \n Interoperability of linguistic resources involves two major aspects: \n Structural interoperability (annotations of different origin are represented \n using the same formalism) and conceptual interoperability (annotations of \n different origin are linked to a common vocabulary). Recently\, it has been \n argued that both aspects can be addressed by representing linguistic \n resources using Semantic Web formalisms and in accordance with the Linked \n Data paradigm (Chiarcos et al.\, 2013).\n \n In particular\, the RDF data model (labeled directed multi-graphs) allows to \n generalize over the concept of feature structures which is underlying \n existing efforts to standardize corpora (ISO TC37/SC4:LAF\, TEI)\, linguistic \n annotations (EAGLES\, ISO TC37/SC4:ISOcat)\, and lexical resources (ISO \n TC37/SC4:LMF\, TEI)\, thereby contributing to the interoperability /between/ \n these standardization efforts.\n \n This talk provides a general introduction into the topic and elaborates on \n two selected use cases:\n – exploiting structural interoperability: combining annotated corpora and \n lexical resources\n – exploiting conceptual interoperability: dealing with heterogeneous \n annotations in NLP pipelines\n \n References:\n \n Christian Chiarcos (2010)\, Towards Robust Multi-Tool Tagging.

DESCRIPTION:The goal of this talk is twofold\; first\, to give an overview of the research \n concerning computer-assisted pronunciation training over the past decade or \n so. We will look into the most important features of such systems\, the \n current research approaches followed and have also a glimpse of some of the \n most famous commercial systems. Second\, the talk will be focused on automatic \n pronunciation error detection and the work that I have been carried out \n during the last four years. In short\, I am going to present the perceptually \n motivated pronunciation error detection algorithms\, which are motivated by \n the observation that almost all native speakers perceive\, relatively easily\, \n the acoustic characteristics of their own language when it is produced by \n speakers of the language. The methods are the result of combination of \n various research areas such as speech processing\, auditory perception\, \n phonetics\, etc. The findings are promising and can help us understand how \n humans distinguish between various speech sounds. At the end of the talk\, we \n will discuss how an ideal pronunciation error detection system could be \n benefited by different approaches to be used as a reference to determine \n current challenges and possible next steps in research efforts.

DESCRIPTION:Using an ostensible taste testing experiment\, we investigated the effects of \n intrusive noises on people interacting in a kitchen setting. During the \n tastings\, for half of the pairs\, the experimenter started several noise \n making appliances (a kettle\, a hairdryer\, a hoover\, a juicer\, a strimmer and \n a reversing alarm) at random times – either predictably (i.e. making it \n obvious\, by walking up to the appliances and pressing the on switch)\, or \n unpredictably – by remote control. To analyse the effects this intervention \n had on the interaction we analysed people’s facial expressions for how \n surprised they looked and how happy they looked when they heard the sounds\, \n using automatic facial recognition software (SHORE). The results show three \n different effects of context on their responses. First\, congruent noise \n sources i.e. those which are expected in context (e.g. a kettle) cause less \n disruption than incongruent noise sources (e.g. a strimmer). Second\, noises \n that can be attributed a clear apparent cause are less disruptive than those \n that are apparently random. Third\, there is an effect of social context in \n that if the cause of the noise is a person\, the form of people’s responses \n depends strongly on the way in which the disruptive noise is introduced by \n that person.\n \n Dr Christine Howes\n Postdoctoral Researcher\n http://flov.gu.se/english/contact/staff/chris-howes [1]\n \n \n [1] http://flov.gu.se/english/contact/staff/chris-howes

DESCRIPTION:The role of semantic aspects in the automatic assessment of linguistic \n complexity (readability) remains little explored in the literature\, mostly \n due to the lack of reliable word-sense disambiguation (WSD) methods. This \n talk will give an overview of our research carried out in both the area of \n readability classification and WSD with the aim of working towards their \n future combination. In the first part\, I will present a machine learning \n approach for classifying coursebook materials for teaching Swedish as a \n second language according to their linguistic complexity. Besides results for \n text-level analysis\, I will also discuss performance at a finer-grained \n (sentence) level. The second half of the presentation will be dedicated to a \n first attempt at a knowledge-based WSD system using information from the \n SALDO lexicon. After the description of the method\, some example sentences \n with both correctly and incorrectly disambiguated senses will follow. \n Finally\, I will conclude with outlining the potentials of sense-based \n information for readability classification.

DESCRIPTION:A growing responsibility on the part of individuals to make decisions in \n health issues implies the need of access to health information and personal \n skills to comprehend the information. Health literacy comprises skills in \n obtaining\, understanding and acting on information about health issues in \n ways that promote and maintain health. The phenomenon may be approached in \n different ways\, one in which health literacy is expressed as a polarized \n phenomenon\, focusing on the extremes of low and high health literacy. The \n definitions of health literacy in this approach are characterized by a \n functional understanding\, pointing out certain basic skills needed to \n understand health information. The other approach represents a complex \n understanding of health literacy\, acknowledging a broadness of skills in \n interaction with the social and cultural contexts\, which means that an \n individual’s health literacy may fluctuate from one day to another \n according to the context. The complex approach stresses the interactive and \n critical skills needed to use information or knowledge as a basis for \n appropriate health decisions. Health literacy is a heterogeneous phenomenon \n that has significance for both the individual and society.​\n \n Lena Mårtensson\n Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology\, Sahlgrenska\n \n Creator av http://www.halsolitteracitet.se/ [1]\n \n Note: this seminar will be given in Swedish.\n \n \n [1] http://www.halsolitteracitet.se/

DESCRIPTION:Statistical parsers are effective but typically limited to producing \n projective dependencies or constituents. On the other hand\, linguistically \n rich parsers recognize long-distance relations\, analyze both form and \n function phenomena but rely on extensive manual grammar engineering. We \n combine advantages of the two by building a statistical parser that produces \n richer analyses.\n \n We investigate new techniques to implement treebank-based parsers that allow \n for discontinuous constituents. We present two systems. One system is based \n on a string-rewriting Linear Rewriting System (LCFRS)\, while using a \n Probabilistic Discontinuous Tree Substitution Grammar (PDTSG) to improve \n disambiguation performance. Another system encodes the discontinuities in the \n labels of phrase-structure trees\, allowing for efficient context-free grammar \n parsing.\n \n The two systems demonstrate that tree fragments as used in tree-substitution \n grammar improve disambiguation performance while capturing non-local \n relations on an as-needed basis. Additionally\, we present results of models \n that produce function tags\, resulting in a more linguistically adequate model \n of the data.\n \n Andreas van Cranenburgh\n Institute for Logic\, Language and Computation\n University of Amsterdam\n http://andreasvc.github.io/ [1]\n \n \n [1] http://andreasvc.github.io/

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will describe an unsupervised topic modelling approach to do \n word sense induction\, i.e. to automatically learn the meaning of words based \n on text collection. I will then talk about two applications of the \n methodology: (1) automatic detection of new senses - senses that are used in \n one corpus but unseen in another\; and (2) automatic adaptation of induced \n senses to existing inventory-defined senses. For the latter\, we will show \n that adapting the senses allows us to automatically learn the predominant \n sense\, compute sense distribution\, and identifying senses that are not \n recorded in the sense inventory ("novel sense") and senses that are not used \n in the corpus ("unattested sense").

DESCRIPTION:In my thesis I investigate textbooks in natural science used in the Swedish \n secondary and upper school with regards to traditional readability \n measurements\, e.g. lix\, ovix and nominal-ratio. In addition\, I extract \n typical vocabulary\, nominal phrases and syntactic structures according to a \n proposed quantitative method\, based on linguistic features\, labelled "the \n index principle". This method assures the variables being frequently used \n within a wide range and with an even distribution. The variables selected are \n also typical to the specific text type in question\, i.e. textbooks\, in \n relation to their occurrences in reference corpora\, such as textbooks in \n social sciences and mathematics\, and narrative and academic texts.\n \n The result shows that textbooks in natural science contain a lot of \n content-specific\, technical\, vocabulary\, separated from every day language. \n It is also highly nominal with most complexity lying within nominal phrases. \n The textbooks language at large shows a relatively low complexity in \n proportion to academic language. In the transition between secondary and \n upper secondary school\, the texts score higher in almost every readability \n measure\, indicating an increase in linguistic demands from the readers.\n \n Examiner: Kristina Nilsson Björkenstam\, Stockholm university

DESCRIPTION:Natural language processing (NLP) becomes increasingly important in people's \n everyday life if we look\, for example\, at the success of word prediction\, \n spelling correction and instant on-line translation. Building linguistic \n resources and tools\, however\, is expensive and time-consuming\, and one of the \n great challenges in computational linguistics is to port existing models to \n new languages and domains. Modern NLP requires data\, often annotated with \n explicit linguistic information and tools that can learn from it. However\, \n sufficient quantities of electronic data sources are available only for a \n handful of languages whereas most other languages do not have the privilege \n to draw from such resources. Speakers of low density languages and the \n countries they live in are not able to invest in large data collection and \n time-consuming annotation efforts\, and the goal of cross-lingual NLP is to \n share the rich linguistic information with poorly supported languages making \n it possible to build tools and resources without starting from scratch. In \n this talk I will look in particular at transfer models for statistical \n dependency parsing. In my experiments I test these approaches on the recently \n released data sets with cross-lingually harmonized dependency annotation and \n I will show the potentials of simple yet effective annotation and treebank \n translation techniques. I will also include a discussion on shortcomings and \n problems of these models and welcome suggestions for future work.

DESCRIPTION:Computational analysis of historical and typological data has made great \n progress in the last fifteen years. In this thesis\, we work with vocabulary \n lists for addressing some classical problems in historical linguistics such \n as discriminating related languages from unrelated languages\, assigning \n possible dates to splits in a language family\, employing structural \n similarity for language classification\, and providing an internal structure \n to a language family.\n \n In this thesis\, we compare the internal structure inferred from vocabulary \n lists with the family trees inferred given in Ethnologue. We also explore the \n ranking of lexical items in the widely used Swadesh word list and compare our \n ranking to another quantitative reranking method and short word lists \n composed for discovering long-distance genetic relationships. We also show \n that the choice of string similarity measures is important for internal \n classification and for discriminating related from unrelated languages. The \n dating system presented in this thesis can be used for assigning age \n estimates to any new language group and overcomes the criticism of constant \n rate of lexical change assumed by glottochronology. We also train and test a \n linear classifier based on gap-weighted subsequence features for the purpose \n of cognate identification. An important conclusion from these results is that \n n-gram approaches can be used for different historical linguistic purposes.\n \n Examiner: Jörg Tiedemann\, Department of Linguistics and Philology\, Uppsala \n University\n \n Link to thesis: http://spraakdata.gu.se/taraka/slut_seminar_thesis.pdf [1]\n \n \n [1] http://spraakdata.gu.se/taraka/slut_seminar_thesis.pdf

DESCRIPTION:In this project a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system was \n built on the basis of freely available Swedish speech data. One acoustic \n model and several bigram and trigram language models were trained with the \n open-source software packages HTK and CMU Statistical Language Model- ing \n toolkit. Using different HTK tools the system was then evaluated with these \n models in order to test what results can be achieved with the given data and \n how the language model size affects the recognition results.\n \n The lowest word error rate achieved was 47.45% and the lowest sen- tence \n error rate was 87.45%. Recognition results showed that raising lan- guage \n model complexity—with regard to both n-gram order and vocabulary \n size—lowers the error rates. The error rates were rather high in comparison \n to the ones yielded in similar projects but the results can easily be \n improved by building larger n-gram models and using a decoder that is better \n suited for the recognition of continuous speech.\n \n Examinator: Richard Johansson\n Opponent: Joel Hinz\n Supervisor: Chris Koniaris

DESCRIPTION:Three talks in preparation for the RANLP conference in Hissar\, Bulgaria: \n http://lml.bas.bg/ranlp2015/ [1].\n \n (1) Mehdi Ghanimifard (FLoV): "Enriching word-sense embeddings with \n translational context".\n Vector-space models derived from corpora are an effective way to learn a \n representation of word meaning directly from data\, and these models have many \n uses in practical applications. A number of unsupervised approaches have been \n proposed to learn representations of word senses directly from corpora\, but \n since these methods use no information but the words themselves\, they \n sometimes miss distinctions that could be possible to make if more \n information were available. In this paper\, we present a general framework \n called context enrichment that incorporates external information during the \n training of multi-sense vector-space models. Our approach is agnostic as to \n which external signal is used to enrich the context\; here\, we use \n translations as the source of enrichment. We evaluated the models trained \n using the translation-enriched context on several similarity benchmarks and a \n word analogy test set. In all our evaluations\, the enriched model \n outperformed the purely word-based baseline soundly.\n \n (2) Luis Nieto Piña (Språkbanken): "A simple and efficient method to \n generate word sense representations".\n Distributed representations of words have boosted the performance of many \n Natural Language Processing tasks. However\, usually only one representation \n per word is obtained\, not acknowledging the fact that some words have \n multiple meanings. This has a negative effect on the individual word \n representations and the language model as a whole. In this paper we present a \n simple model that enables recent techniques for building word vectors to \n represent distinct senses of polysemic words. In our assessment of this model \n we show that it is able to effectively discriminate between words' senses and \n to do so in a computationally efficient manner.\n \n (3) Olof Mogren (CSE\, Chalmers): "Extractive summarization by aggregating \n multiple similarities".\n News reports\, social media streams\, blogs\, digitized archives and books are \n part of a plethora of reading sources that people face every day. This raises \n the question of how to best generate automatic summaries. Many existing \n methods for extracting summaries rely on comparing the similarity of two \n sentences in some way. We present new ways of measuring this similarity\, \n based on sentiment analysis and continuous vector space representations\, and \n show that combining these together with similarity measures from existing \n methods\, helps to create better summaries. The finding is demonstrated with \n MULTSUM\, a novel summarization method that uses ideas from kernel methods to \n combine sentence similarity measures. Submodular optimization is then used to \n produce summaries that take several different similarity measures into \n account. Our method improves over the state-of-the-art on standard benchmark \n datasets\; it is also fast and scale to large document collections\, and the \n results are statistically significant.\n \n \n [1] http://lml.bas.bg/ranlp2015/

DESCRIPTION:Kristina Lundholm Fors\, Department of Philosophy Linguistics and Theory of \n Science is defending her thesis "Production and Perception of Pauses in \n Speech".\n \n Abstract:\n Silences can make or break the conversation: if two persons involved in a \n conversation have different ideas about the typical length of pauses\, they \n will face problems with turn taking. Pauses occur in conversation for a \n number of reasons\, for example for breathing\, thinking\, word-searching and \n turn taking management. In this dissertation\, we explore the production and \n perception of pauses in speech. Our aim consists of three main parts: to \n describe and analyse the production of pauses\, to investigate the perception \n of pauses\, and to examine the role of pauses in turn-taking. Our hypothesis \n is that pauses fill varying functions\, and that these functions depend on the \n context of the pauses. We believe that the duration of pauses may be linked \n to the pause type\, and that we adapt the our pause lengths to the persons we \n are speaking to. Further\, we suggest that pauses occur regularly throughout \n dialogues. We also hypothesise that the duration of pauses in speech affect \n the processing of speech.\n Pauses are tied to the process of turn taking\, and as we learn more about the \n nature of pauses we may also be able to further develop our understanding of \n the process of turn holding and turn yielding. We will also be able to use \n the information about pause production and perception when modelling turn \n taking in dialogue systems.\n Our results show that pause lengths vary greatly across speakers\, pause types \n and dialogues. Pauses tend to be entrained by speakers involved in dialogues\, \n and pauses occur regularly throughout conversations. We also found evidence \n that pauses have a positive impact on memorising spoken utterances. While \n speakers adapt their pause lengths to the other speaker in the conversation\, \n they are inclined to keep a consistent ratio between pause types\, and this is \n not dependent on the conversational partner. While it is interesting to look \n at pauses separately\, we need to put them into context to really understand \n their functions. To highlight the role of pauses in conversation\, we proposed \n an updated turn taking model\, where the results from our studies are \n integrated.\n \n Keywords: pauses\, silences\, turn taking\, dialogue\, entrainment\n \n Opponent: Anna Hjalmarsson\, KTH\n Link to the dissertation: http://hdl.handle.net/2077/39346 [1]\n \n \n [1] http://hdl.handle.net/2077/39346

LOCATION:Room 112\, Dicksonsgatan 4
DESCRIPTION:This thesis identifies a problem with how computer-assisted translation tools \n are developed. Their final use as an aid to translators is often not \n fully-considered and left to others to evaluate. A new methodology is \n proposed which allows a cat tool to be evaluated intrinsically and \n extrinsically using methods that show the tools ef fect on the whole \n translation process. Special emphasis is placed on prototyping as a \n resource-effective way to create tools and gain critical feedback before a \n full implementation. To evaluate the methodology’s usefulness\, StyleCheck \n is developed and evaluated using it. StyleCheck detects when a style guide \n rule is applied and gives a hint to the translator when it isn’t. Results \n show StyleCheck is effective at getting a style guide to be applied\, more \n than translating from scratch or post-editing\, although more work on the user \n interface is required. The methodology is proven to be good at coming up with \n cat tool improvements\, quickly protoyping them and evaluating them.\n \n Opponent: Anne Schumacher\n Examiner: Simon Dobnik

DESCRIPTION:Nearly two years have passed since I presented my work on Pengines (Prolog \n engines) [4] and SWISH [1\,6]\, a web front-end for Prolog that utilises \n Pengines. Due to an unfortunate "burn-out" and a long sick leave I have not \n been able to do much work on them for the past year or so\, but I do have at \n least a couple of months worth of work to report on\, and even during my leave \n things have matured a lot. In particular\, other people\, mostly Jan Wielemaker \n in Amsterdam\, have continued to refine the Pengines library as well as the \n SWISH application.\n \n SWISH is now accessible from the SWI-Prolog web site\, where it can be used to \n run small Prolog programs for demonstration\, experimentation and \n education.[1\,6] SWISH has also been connected with the ClioPatria semantic \n web toolkit\, where it allows for collaborative development of programs and \n queries related to a dataset as well as performing maintenance tasks on the \n running server\,[2\,5] and SWISH has been embedded in the Learn Prolog Now! \n online Prolog book.[3\,6]\n \n Jan Wielemaker has done a tremendous job implementing these applications. \n Still I believe that Pengines can do a lot more than serving as the machinery \n underlying SWISH and similar applications. In this talk I'm going to sketch a \n programming language - an extension of Prolog - that I will refer to as *Web \n Prolog*. Borrowing features from the Erlang programming language\, Web Prolog \n allows a neater implementation of Pengines\, makes concurrent and distributed \n programming easier\, and can possibly be standardised by the W3C.\n \n REFERENCES:\n [1] http://swish.swi-prolog.org/ [1]\n [2] http://linkedpolitics.d2s.labs.vu.nl/swish [2]\n [3] http://lpn.swi-prolog.org [3]\n [4] Torbjörn Lager and Jan Wielemaker (2014) Pengines: Web Logic Programming \n Made Easy\, In: Theory and Practice of Logic Programming\, 14 (4-5) s. 539-552.\n [5] Jan Wielemaker\, Wouter Beek\, Michiel Hildebrand\, Jacco van Ossenbruggen \n (2015) ClioPatria: A SWI-Prolog Infrastructure for the Semantic Web\, In: \n Semantic Web Journal\, 2015.\n [6] Jan Wielemaker\, Torbjörn Lager\, and Fabrizio Riguzzi (2015) SWISH: \n SWI-Prolog for Sharing.

DESCRIPTION:Jessica Villing\, Department of Philosophy Linguistics and Theory of Science \n is defending her thesis "Towards Dialogue Strategies for Cognitive Workload \n Management".\n \n Abstract:\n Although it has been shown that drivers are less distracted when using speech \n interfaces compared to traditional interfaces\, using voice control instead of \n manual controls does not completely solve the problem with distracted \n drivers. The interaction with the dialogue system may itself add to the \n driver’s cognitive workload and may therefore be a safety issue. The main \n purpose of this thesis is to learn more about in-vehicle dialogue during \n various types of cognitive workload\, to use this knowledge to enable safe and \n non-distracting dialogue system interaction in vehicles. We do this by \n analysing a corpus of human-human in-vehicle dialogue to learn more about the \n dialogue strategies used by drivers and passengers during various types of \n workload. We discuss the types of cognitive workload that we believe are most \n important to consider when studying the multitasking activity of driving and \n interacting with a dialogue system\, and suggest a method for distinguishing \n different types of workload by using information about the driver’s \n workload and driving behaviour. We found that dialogue strategies such as \n interruptions – in the form of silent pauses and domain switches – are \n used in response to the driver’s cognitive workload\, as well as resumption \n of unfinished discussions. These behaviours are analysed in order to find \n strategies for preventing\, or shortening the duration time of\, high cognitive \n workload. We also indicate how these strategies can be implemented in \n in-vehicle dialogue systems.\n \n Opponent: Associate Professor Andrew Kun\, University of New Hampshire\n \n Link to the dissertation: https://gupea.ub.gu.se/handle/2077/40178 [1]\n \n \n [1] https://gupea.ub.gu.se/handle/2077/40178

DESCRIPTION:Current successful approaches to NLP are for the most part based on \n supervised learning. In turn\, supervised learning critically relies on the \n availability of annotated data. Such data is usually not plentiful\, as it \n requires time and expertise to develop data. This is the problem of data \n sparsity. At the same time\, available samples usually come from specific \n domains and languages\, e.g.\, English newswire data\, and thus suffer from data \n bias.\n \n In this talk I will present techniques to overcome data sparsity and bias by \n proposing to leverage fortuitous data\, i.e.\, data from various sources which \n is out there\, often created as a by-product\, but often neglected. I will \n argue that fortuitous data\, combined with weakly supervised learning \n techniques\, helps to improve language technology for task such as POS tagging \n and dependency parsing. In particular\, examples include building more robust \n taggers for Twitter by exploiting information from hyperlinks\, or using \n doubly-annotated data to improve chunking and parsing. Instead of glossing \n over such data\, it is more fruitful to embrace it during learning. Finally\, I \n will present recent (on-going) work on exploiting cognitive processing data \n to improve language technology.

DESCRIPTION:John J. Camilleri (Department of Computer Science and Engineering) will \n defend his licentiate thesis / Analysing normative contracts. On the semantic \n gap between natural and formal languages/.\n \n Abstract:\n Normative contracts are documents written in natural language\, such as \n English or Swedish\, which describe the permissions\, obligations\, and \n prohibitions of two or more parties over a set of actions\, including \n descriptions of the penalties which must be payed when the main norms are \n violated. We encounter such texts frequently in our daily lives in the form \n of privacy policies\, software licenses\, and service agreements. The length \n and dense linguistic style of such contracts often makes them difficult to \n follow for non-experts\, and many people agree to these legally-binding \n documents without even reading them. By investigating the processing of \n normative texts\, how they can be modelled formally using a suitable logic\, \n and what kinds of properties can be automatically tested on our models\, we \n hope to produce end-user tools which can take a natural language contract as \n input\, highlight any potentially problematic clauses\, and allow a user to \n easily ask questions about the implications of the contract\, getting a \n meaningful answer in natural language within a reasonable amount of time. \n This thesis includes four research articles by the author which investigate \n the various components that a system such as this would require\; from entity \n recognition and modality extraction on natural language texts\, to controlled \n natural languages and visual diagrams as modelling interfaces\, to logical \n formalisms which can be used for contract representation\, to the different \n kinds of analysis possible and how this can be linked to user questions in \n natural language.\n \n Opponent:\n Dr. Adam Wyner\, Department of Computing Science\, University of Aberdeen\, \n Scotland

DESCRIPTION:What does it take to bootstrap a language? How is it maintained? How does \n meaning emerge and become shared? I will review some of the representative \n literature on the so called Symbol Grounding problem and how it relates to \n the field of Computational Semantics. I will discuss two prominent approaches \n to semantics - logical and distributional - and what might be seen as their \n respective strengths and shortcomings. I will suggest that what most existing \n approaches lack is sufficient regard for the basic idea that symbols are used \n to do stuff in the world in interaction with others\; and consequently\, that \n their meaning is constrained by (1) their utility in abstract \n reasoning/planning in a particular task\; and (2) semantic coordination \n pressures in interaction with specific interlocutors.\n \n I then go on to sketch a model of how a structured\, probabilistic ontology of \n object kinds and their properties - represented using the Type Theory with \n Records framework- can be bootstrapped from dialogue in the context of a \n simple collaborative referring game. The basic premise in this model is that \n one can learn the meaning of semantic representations by deploying them in a \n particular environment and observing their effect - perlocution - to learn \n what they mean. The model will use a combination of the DS-TTR grammar \n framework (Dynamic Syntax and Type Theory with Records) for dialogue \n processing\, and Reinforcement Learning for optimisation of what to say. The \n hope is that one can use such a framework in simulation to test specific \n hypotheses about what basic mechanisms - e.g. incrementally\, repair\, \n rejection\, agreement\, alignment\, etc. - are required for the emergence of \n shared meaning\; but also that it can be used as a basis for developing \n conversational robots that can learn new concepts and adapt existing ones in \n interaction with humans.\n \n Short bio:\n Arash Eshghi completed his PhD "Uncommon ground: The distribution of dialogue \n contexts" at Queen Mary University of London in 2009. His research focuses on \n dialogue and dialogue modelling from a wide range of perspectives including \n computational methods and experiments on human-human interaction. He is \n currently working at Heriot Watt University's Interaction Lab on the EPSRC \n funded BABBLE project: domain-general methods for learning natural spoken \n dialogue systems\, in which speech systems can be trained to interact \n naturally with humans\, much like a child who experiments with new \n combinations of words to discover their usefulness.

DESCRIPTION:Dictionaries are important tools for language learners and translators\, as \n well as valuable cultural artefacts. Moreover\, lexical knowledge is essential \n to high-quality systems for a variety of natural language processing tasks. \n One problem\, however\, is that language changes. New words are coined every \n day\, and new meanings of established words commonly emerge. Dictionaries \n therefore need to be constantly updated\, but doing so manually is very \n expensive. Techniques for automatically keeping them up to date are therefore \n required. In this talk I will present research on two topics related to this \n theme: 1. applying a word-sense induction system to automatically find new \n meanings of words\, and 2. using GPS-tagged social media posts to identify \n previously-undocumented regionalisms.

DESCRIPTION:Computational historical linguistics is a young and new field. Among it’s \n major challenge is the collection and preparation of suitable data resources. \n Here we present an approach that takes lexical data taken from a large \n collection of publicly available wordlists as input and infers automatic \n assessments regarding the cognacy of words and sounds. We illustrate the \n workflow and test it by comparing the results obtained from the computation \n of Maximum Likelihood trees with those provided by experts. The results show \n that our workflow still lags behind simpler approaches which analyze the data \n within a distance-based framework. However\, since distance-based analyses \n bear a blackbox character\, not allowing for a rigorous check of the \n individual decisions which lead to a certain classification proposal\, we \n think that our experiments are an important contribution towards the \n establishment of more transparent methods in quantitative historical \n linguistics.\n \n Joint work with Johann-Mattis List

DESCRIPTION:Computational analysis of historical and typological data has made great \n progress in the last fifteen years. In this thesis\, I work with vocabulary \n lists for addressing some classical problems in historical linguistics such \n as cognate identification\, discriminating related languages from unrelated \n languages\, assigning possible dates to splits in a language family\, and \n providing an internal structure to a language family. I compare the internal \n structure inferred from vocabulary lists with the family trees given in \n Ethnologue. I explore the ranking of lexical items in the widely used Swadesh \n word list and compare my ranking to another quantitative reranking method and \n short word lists composed for discovering long-distance genetic \n relationships. I show that the choice of string similarity measures is \n important for internal classification and for discriminating related from \n unrelated languages. The dating system presented in this thesis can be used \n for assigning age estimates to any new language group and overcomes the \n assumption of a constant rate of lexical replacement assumed by \n glottochronology. I train and test a linear classifier based on gap-weighted \n subsequence features for the purpose of cognate identification. An important \n conclusion from these results is that n-gram approaches can be used for \n different historical linguistic purposes.\n \n Opponent:\n Gerhard Jäger\, Professor of General Linguistics\, University of Tübingen

DESCRIPTION:Olof Mogren (Department of Computer Science and Engineering) will defend his \n licentiate thesis Multi-Document Summarization and Semantic Relatedness.\n \n Abstract:\n Automatic summarization is the process of presenting the contents of written \n documents in a short\, comprehensive fashion. Many approaches have been \n proposed for this problem\, some of which extract content from the input \n documents (extractive me thods)\, and others that generate the language in the \n summary based on some representation of the document contents (abstractive \n methods).\n \n This thesis is concerned with extractive summarization in the multi-document \n setting\, and we define the problem as choosing the most informative sentences \n from the input documents\, while minimizing the redundancy in the summary. \n This definition calls for a way ofmeasuring the similarity between sentences \n that captures as much as possble of the meaning. We present novel ways of \n measuring the similarity between sentences\, based on neural word embeddings \n and sentiment analysis. We also show that combining multiple sentence \n similarity scores\, by multiplicative aggregation\, helps in the process of \n creating better extractive summaries.\n \n We also discuss the use of information extraction for improving the quality \n of automatic summarization by providing ways of assessing the salience of \n information elements\, as well as helping with the fluency of the output and \n providing the temporal dimension.\n \n Furthermore\, we present graph-based algorithms for clustering words by \n co-occurrence\, and for summarizing short online user-reviews by computing \n bicliques. The biclique algorithm provides a fast\, simple algorithm for \n summarization in many e-commerce settings.\n \n Opponent:\n Tapani Raiko from Aalto University.\n \n Thesis fulltext: \n http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~mogren/lic/mogren2015licentiate.pdf [1]\n \n \n [1] http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~mogren/lic/mogren2015licentiate.pdf

DESCRIPTION:We combine supervised learning with unsupervised learning in deep neural \n networks. The proposed model is trained to simultaneously minimize the sum of \n supervised and unsupervised cost functions by backpropagation\, avoiding the \n need for layer-wise pretraining. The model structure is an autoencoder with \n skip connections from the encoder to decoder and the learning task is similar \n to that in denoising autoencoders but applied to every layer. The skip \n connections relieve the pressure to represent details at the higher layers of \n the model because\, through the skip connections\, the decoder can recover any \n details discarded by the encoder. We show that the resulting model reaches \n state-of-the-art performance in various tasks: MNIST and CIFAR-10 \n classification in a semi-supervised setting and permutation invariant MNIST \n in both semi-supervised and full-labels setting.

DESCRIPTION:I will describe some of our recent advances in the prediction of \n predicate-argument structure in natural language text.\n First\, I will describe a dynamic programming algorithm for efficient \n constrained inference in semantic role labeling. The algorithm efficiently \n captures a majority of the structural constraints examined by prior work in \n this area\, which has resorted to either approximate methods or slow integer \n linear programming solvers. In addition\, it allows for structured learning\, \n with respect to constrained conditional likelihood\, which leads to improved \n predictions over a locally learned model.\n Second\, I will describe how the potential functions in the graphical model \n corresponding to the dynamic program can be replaced with neural networks. In \n addition to increased modeling power and automatically induced feature \n combinations\, this allows us to embed phrasal arguments and semantic roles \n jointly in the same vector space\, and provides a flexible framework for \n multi-task learning by the embedding of semantic roles from multiple \n annotation schemes in a shared vector space.\n With these advances\, both by themselves and combined\, we obtain \n state-of-the-art results on both PropBank- and FrameNet-annotated datasets.\n \n Bio:\n Oscar Täckström is a research scientist at Google in New York\, where he \n works primarily on the semantic analysis of text and question answering from \n structured knowledge bases.

DESCRIPTION:Abstract syntax is a concept in compilers and programming language semantics. \n It is a tree representation that abstracts away from the order and shape of \n lexical items. GF\, Grammatical Framework\, is a grammar formalism that applies \n abstract syntax to natural languages. Its initial purpose was to build \n domain- specific translation systems based on semantic interlinguas. GF has \n later scaled up to wide-coverage grammars\, based on the GF Resource Grammar \n Library\, which applies a shared abstract syntax to 30 languages. The \n Universal Dependencies (UD) initiative is a more recent\, but already more \n widely known\, approach using shared concepts: the labels and part of speech \n tags in dependency trees. UD trees are built by parsers trained from \n treebanks\, whereas GF uses explicit grammar rules. Thus UD uses manual work \n for annotating treebanks\, whereas GF uses manual work for writing grammars.\n \n We will present a conversion from GF abstract syntax trees to UD dependency \n trees in this talk. The conversion has several potential applications: (1) it \n makes the GF parser usable as a rule-based dependency parser\; (2) it enables \n bootstrapping UD treebanks from GF treebanks\; (3) it defines a formal way to \n assess the informal annotation schemes of UD\; (4) it gives a method to check \n the consistency of manually annotated UD trees with respect to the annotation \n schemes\; (5) it makes information from UD treebanks available for the \n construction and ranking of GF trees\, which can be expected to improve GF \n applications such as machine translation. The conversion is tested and \n evaluated by bootstrapping a small treebank for 32 languages\, as well as \n comparing the GF version of the English Penn treebank with the standard UD \n version.

DESCRIPTION:In this work\, I present a linguistic investigation of the language of Swedish \n textbooks in the natural sciences\, i.e.\, biology\, physics and chemistry. The \n textbooks\, which are used in secondary and upper secondary school\, are \n examined with respect to traditional readability measures\, e.g.\, LIX\, OVIX \n and nominal ratio. I also extract typical linguistic features of the texts\, \n typicality being determined using a proposed quantitative method\, labelled \n the index principle. This empirical\, corpus-based method relies on automatic \n linguistic annotations produced by language technology tools to calculate \n what I call index lists\, rank-ordered lists of characteristic linguistic \n features of specific text corpora as compared to reference texts.\n \n I produce index lists for typical vocabulary\, noun phrase structures and \n syntactic structures\, extracted from a 5.2 million word textbook corpus\, \n compiled as a part of the work presented. As well as being frequent and well \n dispersed\, the linguistic variables selected for the index lists are also \n characteristic of the text type in question\, as is evident when they are \n compared to a reference corpus\, comprising textbooks in the social sciences \n and mathematics\, as well as narrative and academic (university-level) texts.\n \n The results show that textbooks in natural science contain a lot of \n content-specific\, technical vocabulary. This characteristic not only \n distinguishes natural scientific language from everyday language\, but also \n from social scientific language\, which on the lexical level has more in \n common with narrative texts. On the other hand\, the textbook language as a \n whole is structurally distinguishable from narrative texts\, as clearly seen\, \n e.g.\, in its noun phrase complexity.\n \n In the transition between secondary and upper secondary school\, the scores of \n almost every readability measure go up\, indicating an increase in linguistic \n demands on the readers. In the upper secondary textbooks the words are \n longer\, the vocabulary more varied\, the noun phrase longer and more \n elaborate\, and the most typical syntactic structures more complex. Notably\, \n the linguistic development between the form levels is more marked in the \n natural-science textbooks\, compared to social sciences and mathematics. \n Nevertheless\, the textbook language overall shows a relatively low complexity \n in comparison to academic language.\n \n Opponent:\n Mats Wirén\, Stockholm University

DESCRIPTION:Natural Logic is a deductive inference system that works directly on \n syntactic representations of natural language\, with no intermediate \n translation to logical formulas. It thus side-steps problems involved in the \n translation of natural language to first-order logic\, while being more \n precise than shallow inference techniques. In particular\, Natural Logic \n focuses on monotonicity inference patterns\, such as inferring "Nina has a \n dog" from "Nina has a bulldog" (i.e. replacing a specific term by a more \n general one in a positive context)\, or "Nina didn't get a rose" from "Nina \n didn't get a flower" (i.e. replacing a general term by a more specific one in \n a negative context).\n \n In this talk I will present work in progress on implementing a multilingual \n Natural Logic engine that builds on Grammatical Framework and imports \n specificity hierarchies from an underlying ontology. The goal is to explore \n the applicability of Natural Logic to different inference patterns\, and to \n investigate how language-independent those patterns are.\n \n Short bio:\n Christina Unger is a postdoctoral researcher in the Semantic Computing group \n affiliated to the Cluster of Excellence on Cognitive Interaction Technology \n (CITEC) at Bielefeld University. Her major research interest lies in the area \n of computational semantics\, with a focus on ontology-based natural language \n understanding and question answering.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will present R language (or simply R )\, a dynamic\, lazy\, \n functional\, programming language that was designed in 1993 by Ross Ihaka and \n Robert Gentleman. R adopts the underlying evaluation model of Scheme with the \n syntax of S\, (a programming language\, which was developed by John Chambers at \n Bell Laboratories). R is an open-source programming language and the flexible \n statistical analysis toolkit implemented in R \, made it the lingua franca for \n doing statistics. The R package repository (CRAN) features 7861 available \n packages\, which extent the language. Also\, there are guides on CRAN that \n group sets of R packages and functions by type of analysis\, fields\, or \n methodologies (e.g. Bayesian Inference\, Probability Distributions\, Machine \n Learning\, Natural Language Processing). The statistical capabilities of R \n along with its functional capabilities can transform R into a rich \n environment for doing Type Theory. Thus\, I will conclude this talk by \n discussing possible extensions of R for A Probabilistic Rich Type Theory for \n Semantic Interpretation (Cooper\, Dobnik\, Lappin\, and Larsson\, 2015).

DESCRIPTION:Constraint Grammar (CG) is a formalism used to disambiguate morphologically \n analysed text. A grammar written in CG contains rules that /select/ or \n /remove/ an analysis\, based on what other words surround the target word. An \n example of such rule is [REMOVE verb IF -1 determiner]: given an ambiguous \n text such as "the wish"\, the rule would disambiguate /wish/ into a noun.\n \n A typical grammar contains hundreds to thousands of such rules. Since the \n rules are very shallow and depend on the context of words\, it easy to \n accidentally write rules that conflict each other\, or that can never apply to \n any output.\n \n In this talk\, I describe a method for analysing CG by encoding the rules in \n SAT (joint work with Koen Claessen). Our tools can detect internal conflicts \n or redundancies in a grammar\, as well as generate examples to demonstrate the \n effect of some rule or rule set. This can help users to diagnose and improve \n their grammars. No corpus is required\, only a morphological lexicon.

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will discuss the use of Modern Type Theoretical Semantics \n (MTTs) \, i.e. type theories within the tradition of Martin Löf (1974\, 1981)\, \n for reasoning about natural language semantics. I will first present a brief \n introduction of the features that make MTTs an attractive formal language to \n interpret NL semantics to. In particular\, I will discuss a number of issues \n that have been successfully dealt with using MTTs like adjectival/adverbial \n modification\, copredication and intensionality among other things. Then\, I \n will argue that the proof-theoretic nature of MTTs\, i.e. the fact that they \n are proof-theoretically specified\, in combination with their expresiveness \n makes them fit to perform reasoning tasks. This proof-theoretic aspect of \n MTTs has been the main reason that a number of proof-assistants implement \n variants of MTTs. One such proof-assistant\, Coq\, will be used as a way to \n show the applicability of MTTs in dealing with Natural Language Inference \n (NLI). Firstly\, I will show how NL semantics can be implemented in Coq and \n then I will present how one can use Coq in order to reason with these \n semantics. I will draw examples from the FraCas test suite platform in order \n to show the predictions the implemented semantics make as regards inference. \n I will then discuss issues like coverage and proof-automation and a number of \n ideas for future work\, like extracting type ontologies from GWAP lexical \n networks and creating a parser/translator that will translate between English \n (or any other language) and the syntax of Coq. I will end the talk by \n discussing the potential use of Coq implementing other semantic frameworks\, \n like Montague Semantics\, Davidsonian semantics and eventually a discussion on \n how Coq can be used with TTR (or even ProbTTR).

DESCRIPTION:Writer-based and reader-based views of text-meaning are reflected by the \n respective questions "What is the author trying to tell me?" and "What does \n this text mean to me personally?" Contemporary computational linguistics\, \n however\, generally takes neither view\; applications do not attempt to answer \n either question. Instead\, a text is regarded as an object that is independent \n of\, or detached from\, its author or provenance\, and as an object that has the \n same meaning for all readers. This is not adequate\, however\, for the further \n development of sophisticated NLP applications for intelligence gathering and \n question answering\, let alone interactive dialog systems. I will review the \n history of text-meaning in computational linguistics\, discuss different views \n of text-meaning from the perspective of the needs of computational text \n analysis\, and then extend the analysis to include discourse as well -- in \n particular\, the collaborative or negotiated construction of meaning and \n repair of misunderstanding.\n \n Bio:\n \n Graeme Hirst's research interests cover a range of topics in applied \n computational linguistics and natural language processing\, including lexical \n semantics\, the resolution of ambiguity in text\, the analysis of authors' \n styles in literature and other text (including plagiarism detection and the \n detection of online sexual predators)\, identifying markers of Alzheimer's \n disease in language\, and the automatic analysis of arguments and discourse \n (especially in political and parliamentary texts).\n \n Hirst is the editor of the Synthesis series of books on Human Language \n Technologies\, published by Morgan & Claypool.

He is the recipient of two \n awards for excellence in teaching. He has supervised more than 50 theses and \n dissertations\, four of which have been published as books.

DESCRIPTION:Dementia is a gradual decline of cognitive abilities\, often resulting from \n neurodegeneration. In some cases\, such as primary progressive aphasia (PPA)\, \n language abilities are specifically impaired. In other cases\, such as \n Alzheimer’s disease (AD)\, language disabilities may occur together with \n other cognitive impairments. In each of these instances\, a narrative language \n sample can provide a wealth of data regarding an individual’s linguistic \n capabilities. Traditionally\, analysis of speech samples was conducted by \n hand\, but this is painstaking and time-consuming work. In this talk\, I will \n show that many lexical and syntactic features can be automatically extracted \n from speech transcripts and used in machine learning classifiers to \n distinguish between PPA participants and controls\, between participants with \n different subtypes of PPA\, and between AD participants and controls. I will \n also discuss some of the challenges we face in terms of small data sets\, the \n use of automatic speech recognition in these populations\, and potential \n confounding factors.\n \n *Bio:* Katie Fraser is a PhD candidate in the University of Toronto \n Computational Linguistics group.

DESCRIPTION:There is a fair amount of evidence indicating that language acquisition in \n general crucially relies on probabilistic learning. It is not clear how a \n reasonable account of semantic learning could be constructed on the basis of \n the categorical type systems that either classical or revised semantic \n theories assume. We present probabilistic TTR (Cooper et al 2014) that makes \n explicit the assumption\, common to most probability theories used in AI\, that \n probability is distributed over situation types\, rather than over sets of \n worlds.\n \n Improving on and going beyond Cooper et al (2014)\, we formulate elementary \n Bayesian classifiers (which can be modelled as two-layer Bayesian networks) \n in probabilistic TTR and use these to illustrate how our type theory serves \n as an interface between perceptual judgement\, semantic interpretation\, and \n semantic leaning. We also show how this account can be extended to cover \n general Bayesian nets.

LOCATION:T219\, Olof Wijksgatan 6
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, after briefly introducing the formal semantics in modern type \n theories (MTT-semantics)\, I shall argue that it is both model-theoretic and \n proof-theoretic. This is due to the unique features of MTTs: they contain \n rich type structures that provide powerful representational means (e.g.\, to \n represent collections as types) and\, at the same time\, are specified \n proof-theoretically as rule-based systems whose sentences (judgements) can be \n understood inferentially.\n \n Considered in this way\, MTTs arguably have promising advantages when employed \n as foundational languages for formal semantics\, both theoretically and \n practically.\n \n Lecturer:\n Zhaohui Luo is a Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Computer \n Science\, Royal Holloway\, University of London.

LOCATION:L308\, Lennart Torstenssonsgatan 8
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar I will talk about my PhD studies: general aims\, review of \n completed and ongoing work\, as well as ideas on how to continue.\n \n My work revolves around building semantic representations of linguistic \n units. Word embeddings have become ubiquitous in Natural Language Processing \n upstream tasks in the last years. In this project\, we ask in which ways \n restricting representations to word forms limits the capacity of these \n models\, and whether we can avoid this by focusing on representing more \n complex\, less superficial linguistic units. I apply Machine Learning \n techniques for this purpose\, and have worked on several models that learn \n word sense representations from corpora and lexicons. As a possible line of \n future research\, I propose making use of exciting developments of learning \n algorithms to try and obtain representations of complex semantic units like \n multiword expressions.

LOCATION:room EA\, Hörsalsvägen 11\, Chalmers
DESCRIPTION:Language-processing software is becoming increasingly present in our society. \n Making such tools available to the greater number is not just a question of \n access to technology but also a question of language as they need to be \n adapted\, or localized\, to each linguistic community. It is thus important to \n make the tools necessary to the engineering of language-processing systems as \n accessible as possible\, for instance through automation. Not so much to help \n the traditional software creators but more importantly to enable communities \n to bring their language use into the digital world on their own terms.\n \n Smart paradigms are created in the hope that they can decrease the amount of \n work for the lexicographer who wishes to create or update a morphological \n lexicon. In the first paper\, we evaluate smart paradigms implemented in GF. \n How good are they to guess the correct inflection tables? How much \n information is required? How good are they at compressing the lexicon?\n \n In the second paper\, we take some distance from the smart paradigms\, although \n they have been used in this work\, they are not the main focus of the study. \n Instead\, we compare two rule-based machine translation systems based on \n different translation models and try to determine the potential of a possible \n hybridization.\n \n In the third paper we come back to the smart paradigms. If they can reduce \n the work of the lexicographer\, someone still needs to create the smart \n paradigms in the first place. In this paper we explore the possibility of \n automatically creating smart paradigms based on existing traditional \n paradigms using machine-learning techniques.\n \n Finally\, the last paper presents a collection of tools meant to help grammar \n engineering work in the Grammatical Framework community: a tokenizer\; a \n library to embedded grammars in Java applications\; a build server\; a document \n translator and a kernel to Jupyter notebooks.\n \n Opponent: Assistant Professor Måns Huldén\, Department of Linguistics\, \n University of Colorado\, U.S.A.

LOCATION:HC2\, Hörsalsvägen 14
DESCRIPTION:Abstract syntax trees are an alternative representation to syntactic \n structures commonly found in NLP systems. This representation allows for \n sharing of structures across languages\, making it well suited to serve as a \n translation interlingua. Grammatical Framework is a grammar formalism that \n captures cross-linguistic generalizations through the use of abstract syntax. \n The Resource Grammar Library (GF-RGL) in GF implements multilingual grammars \n for over 30 languages.\n \n Universal Dependencies (UDs) is a parallel effort to use shared structures to \n analyse sentences in different languages. The set of part-of-speech tags and \n functions are shared across languages. The linguistic data available from \n this project is annotated data i.e. sentences annotated with UD structures in \n over 40 languages.\n \n The main contribution of this thesis is to bridge these two representations: \n despite the similar motivation behind these two efforts\, the representations \n used vary significantly. Hence\, we propose a conversion method to convert the \n abstract syntax trees in GF to the structures used in UD. We find that the \n correspondence between GF-RGL and UD is significant\, and the differences \n between the two raise interesting questions about the level of abstraction. \n We also present practical applications to our method: (1) the use of GF \n parser as a dependency parser and (2) to bootstrap UD treebanks from GF \n treebanks.\n \n Another topic addressed in this thesis is the problem of out-of-vocabulary \n words that comes up in symbolic systems. We address this problem in the \n context of part-of-speech tagging and statistical dependency parsing. We \n propose a simple method to use a distributional thesaurus to replace unknown \n words and show through empirical evaluation that our method improves both \n overall accuracies and accuracies for unknown words. Our method is generic \n and can be adapted to fit other NLP systems.\n \n The discussion leader is Filip Ginter\, University of Turku.

DESCRIPTION:(This seminar will be held in Swedish.)\n \n Som en specialinriktning inom logopedi görs undersökningar av \n språkfunktion hos personer med sviktande eller nedsatt mental förmåga. \n Kraven på metod är höga och det krävs god förmåga till observation av \n språkligt och kommunikativt beteende. Undersökningen aktualiseras när en \n person genomgår minnesutredning p.g.a. misstanke om demenssjukdom och den \n logopediska insatsen kan då vara en bit i ett stort pussel. På Karolinska \n Universitetssjukhuset har vi utvecklat och prövat testmetoder för att kunna \n beskriva patienters språkliga funktion och öka förståelsen av de besvär \n som patient och/eller omgivning noterat. Ett flertal vetenskapliga studier \n har genomförts och fördjupat kunskapen om språkliga funktioners samband \n med tänkande. Ett testbatteri (SLUM) har prövats på ett standardiserat \n sätt under fem års tid och är nu utvärderat. SLUM presenteras kort och \n med extra fokus på hur testresultat och observationer kan användas för att \n beskriva och påvisa avvikande språkligt beteende associerat med \n sjukdomsdiagnos.
